I haven't always known how to show up for the people I love when they are going through something difficult -- death, mental health crisis, miscarriage, illness -- and I'm sure I'm not alone. When I thought about my own difficulties and what has helped me, WHO has helped me, it's just been the people who showed up. No matter if it's awkward, it's just good to know someone is willing to be there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So before #WomensHistoryMonth ends, I want to highlight a new business I'm supporting: @meetsupportal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My friend and Supportal co-founder @mrlee21, supported her mom through #multiplesclerosis and grappled with #grief when she lost her to #breastcancer, and her co-founder @jaquelynscharnick, a two-time #cancer survivor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Their new online platform is designed to make it easy for you to respond when someone you care about is faced with a life-changing challenge. Their advice is great, the stories are incredible, and the odds are high that they’ll help you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not being paid to post this. I shared my own story with Supportal and honestly love what they are building. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #turnempathyintoaction#support#friendship#love#showingup#beingthere

3.20.19 • First Love (4/4)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Last year, I moved out of my father’s home, courtesy of the aforementioned individual who chose to take a risk on me, following an e-mail I sent (paired with my CV) when I was deeply depressed and desperate. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ While so many beige-skinned women in my town with the power to hire saw me as a threat while interviewing me, the pale-skinned and Northeast-based woman who called me that ‪Sunday morning‬ saw me (and my graduate degree) as an asset. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Although I had my moments with my client, I realize now that trust tests had to be put in place, precisely because of her social status. She happens to be one of the most influential and powerful women in the United States and every month, I tell myself, “I can’t believe she’s my client. Like, WTF!”⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 2018 was my recovery year. While I was immensely grateful to no longer be in my father’s presence, my mind hadn’t caught up to the reality of me chilling with my lingering doubts and demons in my own home. So, depression hit me several times last year, and it was really bad around my birthday. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I had survived 10 traumatic years of near-death experiences at the hands of my mother, emotional torture courtesy of my father, put up with a ton of bigotry from colleagues and classmates for nearly three decades, rejected by dozens of brown-skinned and beige-skinned men from 1998 until now (predominantly because of my complexion or because I rejected their penis privilege), and my heart had officially retired. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ For most of my life, I’ve been hustling for love. And, I failed every time. I was taught I was unlovable, first by my parents, and then by society. I’m approaching my fourth decade on this planet, and it takes a ridiculous amount of mental energy to see my existence as valid. Today, I acknowledge that my first love should have been my Creator and ME. Not Hassan. Or any man I might (idiotically) fall for in the future...⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

Seven years after Keuka College bestowed an honorary degree on Civil Rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it likewise honored another leader of the movement. . Coretta Scott King, pictured at center, was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters degree at the College’s 1970 Commencement. Citing the 1963 visit by the Kings at which her husband received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree, College President Dr. G. Wayne Glick hailed Coretta Scott King’s return as a “visit again by goodness and greatness.” . Citing the challenges of the day, which remain all too familiar, King spoke of “the insidious evils of repression, poverty, war, racism, pollution, and social injustice,” and called for “a new concept of womanhood.” . “The salvation of mankind,” she told graduates, “rests with capable women.” www.keuka.edu/go/corettascottking 🐺 #KeukaCollege#WomensHistoryMonth#QKA#FLX

Here’s a stunning copy of Stevenson’s Songs of Travel (1908), bound by Norah Hewitt for #31daysofwomensbookhistory . Hewitt was a member of the Guild of Women-Binders, which was founded in 1899 by Frank Karslake, a bookseller and founder of the Hampstead bindery. His interest emerged from seeing beautiful bindings by women at the Victorian Era Exhibition in 1897. Through his guild, women learned how to bind books by hand and were offered employment after the completion of their training. Women in the Guild were typically middle-class and had prior artistic education. Prominent binders including Constance Karlslake, Edith and Florence de Rheims, Frances Knight, and Lilian Overton were all members of the Guild. As G. Elliot Anstruther notes, “The Guild of Women-Binders is doing for the craft of bookbinding what the Kelmscott Press accomplished for modern printing...the Guild has shown that the craft of bookbinding offers a remunerative field for women’s labour; that women can, and do, bind books extremely well, and that...the artistic side of their work is likely to surpass that of men-binders as a whole.” . #cushingmemoriallibrary#womensbookhistory#womenshistorymonth#guildofwomenbinders#bookbinding#bookhistory#finebinding#rarebooks#specialcollections#oldbooks#poetry .

Did you know Queen(Inkosikazi) Lozikeyi Dlodlo was the catalyst for what's now known as the first Chimurenga/ Zimbabwe's first war for Independence?She was more than just one of King Lobengula Khumalo's wives. Queen Lozikeyi, as Queen of the Ndebele state and acting head of state (following King Lobengula's disappearance) was the heart and chief planner of the Imfazo or Impi Yehlok’elibomvu/The war of the Red Axe/Anglo-Matabele War of 1896. Queen Lozikeyi essentially led and inspired the uprising against British colonial rule and the land disposition of Ndebele people in the Anglo-Matabele war(1986). Following King Lobengula and the Ndebele's land disposition, Queen Lozikeyi was determined to realize her vision to reinstate the Ndebele kingdom and get back her people’s land. She told her brother, Muntuwani Dlodlo, to rebuild King Lobengula’s regiment- Imbizo, and they used some of King Lobengula and the imbizo's unused ammunition; that she had astutely stored, against the Rhodesian forces.She is widely revered as having been a fearless leader, military strategist, counsel to the King, and an inspirational figure to warriors who fought hard to win back their Ndebele kingdom from the oppressive British colonial system.In fact she was such a "badass" that even colonial settlers described her as a very “dangerous and intriguing woman”.Although she is well known in Matabeleland, she is sadly unknown in the rest of Zimbabwe. It is a travesty that her story is widely "ommitted" from Zimbabwe's history and our education system. It is a shame that she is not given the due recognition, as a fierce leader and true real life Zimbabwean heroine.So today as part of women's history month, as we reflect back on significant women in our nation's history, and celebrate our very own Zimbabwean warriors and #rebelgirls, it felt befitting for us to celebrate Queen Lozikeyi.She is the epitome of a witty, strong, fearless, independent & inspiring woman! She is both our #wednesdaywarrior & our #throwbackthursday#womenshistorymonth#zimbabwe#zimpride#zimdiaspora#shona#ndebele#chewa#venda#sotho#tswana#tonga#chibarwe#shangani#xhosa#ndau#nambya#koisan#chibarwe

WOMAN OF THE DAY (March 21st): Today, I choose to spotlight my oldest friend, Ms. DeShaunté Harris. I didn't meet this girl when I was 10 years old (I was 5), but what I love most she has so much soul. She was not the "girl next door" but the girl across the street. I could write a book on my life with my long time neighbor & homegirl. Our mothers are best friends to this day. She calls my brothers her brothers. Her brothers and sister call me their big brother. Our families have been connected since 1988, so we literally grew up together. We've bumped heads before, yet have gotten to a point where we will not stay mad at each other. She is the oldest of four and I'm the youngest of 3. We go back like Soul Glo! We don't talk or see each other every day but when we get together it's always fun and laughs. Over 3 decades later (and counting), I have seen her begin to come into her own. She knows my long standing rule that being upset around me too long is unacceptable. From perms to her natural hair, from crooked teeth to braces to straight teeth, from sober to "feeling herself", through heartbreaks and triumphs, on her worst days and her best days, it's very little I have not seen or experienced regarding her. When life turned upside down for me in 2016, I credit her for being there through the storm and for knowing my character. 2017 provided me the opportunity to be there for her through a situation no woman should go through. I don't know what the future holds, but I am grateful that the good FAR outweighs the bad over our 30+ years of friendship. I thank her for the lessons learned. I am proud of the woman she has become and as she faces her fears she has yet to addressed, I wish her the best. Love you homie! #WomensHistoryMonth

Continuing our series for #WomensHistoryMonth theme for Visionary Women: Champions of Peace and Nonviolence, today we honor Berta Cáceres. Cáceres rallied the indigenous Lenca people of Honduras and waged a grassroots campaign that successfully pressured the world’s largest dam builder to pull out of the Agua Zarca Dam. Her activism ultimately led to her assassination in 2016.

Women are leading the way in Illinois. I'm honored to recognize four trailblazers who have accomplished so much and are setting an example for generations to come. Dr. Alicia Alexander has served our state as a professor at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville for 16 years, and in her spare time, she founded the Edwardsville chapter of Support the Girls to collect clothing items and hygiene products for women who need them. Kahala Clay has dedicated her life to public service. For eight years, she has served as the Circuit Clerk for St. Clair County, the first woman and first African-American to serve that role. She also led the IL Assoc. of County Clerks and served as an Assistant State’s Attorney. Wendy Pollack has worked to advance the rights of women across our state on every level. She founded Chicago Women Carpenters, Chicago Women in Trades and Women’s Law and Policy Initiative at the Shriver Center, where has served as its director ever since. Barbara Flynn Currie has been a defining force in our state for decades. The longest serving woman in the history of the GA, Leader Currie passed legislation to expand the Equal Pay Act, prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and provide free mammograms for low-income women. It's truly an honor to stand among so many champions, including our emcee Sen. Lightford who was instrumental in giving minimum wage earners a raise – 59% of whom are women – and @LtGovStratton, our state's first black lieutenant governor. Illinois is certainly a better and stronger state because of the tireless work and fierce leadership of women in every corner of our state. #WomensHistoryMonth

Liz Kang Yates, a co-conspirator, purveyor of self-care and illuminator of natural Korean beauty trends by @hellokbanana on the one thing she'll never regret:⠀ ⠀ "I've never regretted stepping out of my comfort zone. It's always a little uncomfortable or scary to try something new, introduce yourself to someone new, to ask for help or advice. I worry a bit if I'll fail, dislike it or bother someone. But, in the end, I never regret it. I always learn or gain something and feel proud that I did it. Do I ever go for something and the outcome is not so good? Totally. But, I always try to stay positive, take in what I've learned from the situation and use that knowledge for the future. I love this quote from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery 'I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.'"⠀ ⠀ #womenshistorymonth#womenshistory#hotelmax#kbanana#hellokbanana#kbeauty#owneverymoment#coconspirators#provenancehotels

A reason we scheduled NEAR DARK for our next screening is its Women’s History Month, and there seemed no more appropriate way for Thrillema to reflect this than with a movie by one of the great American genre filmmakers of the ‘80s and ‘90s. NEAR DARK isn’t Kathryn Bigelow’s first movie (she made THE LOVELESS first), but it displays her incredibly slick style, attention to tone (the Tangerine Dream score is a knockout), and mastery of shooting action. Until she started to get Oscar attention for movies like THE HURT LOCKER and ZERO DARK THIRTY, Bigelow confused a lot of people because her movies wouldn’t fit into an easy box of what was considered “feminine.” Films like NEAR DARK, POINT BREAK, and STRANGE DAYS were confronting ideas about male ritual, and often showcased outsiders bonded through violence. NEAR DARK is one of the best cult films of the ‘80s, and we hope to see you all at Thrillema. #womenshistorymonth#kathrynbigelow#neardark#thrillema
